The Odyssey Astronomy Club is an organization of local
amateur astronomers who are interested in participating
in the science of Observational Astronomy and in sharing
their considerable knowledge of astronomy with anyone
wishing to learn.
The club meets twice monthly on the two Saturdays
closest to the last quarter and the new moon. Anyone is
welcome to attend the meetings regardless of membership
or access to a telescope.
The Odyssey Astronomy Club is a member of the
Astronomical League.
